If I'm To Die by Keaton Henson
If I'm To Die
[Intro]
F A Dm Bb
F C
[Verse]
F A
If I’m to die before I reach you
Dm C Bb
Please know I’m meant to love you till I did
F A
If I’m to slip beneath a train meant to take me
Dm C Bb
Know that I believe that it was worth it
F
Tell my friends goodbye
A
Tell my almost ex-wife
Dm C Bb
That I loved her and left her too soon
C
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb
Oh I hope to be holding you soon
F C
Who knows what happens if I leave my room
Dm C Bb
Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do...
A Dm C Bb
If I’m to die before you
C
[Verse]
F A
If i’m to die before I hold you
Dm C Bb
Know my arms were the worst off for it
F
If i’m set upon dragged
A
From my room as I write
Dm
You won't be my last
C Bb
Thought before I quit
C
F
Give my family love
A
I would watch from above
Dm C Bb
But I fear there is nothing but sleep
C
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
F
Don’t know what's out there
C
More fear I assume
Dm C Bb
Oh i’m scared that you’ll know what to do...
A Dm C Bb
If i’m to die before you
C
[Verse]
F A
And if i’m to die before we spend a soft day
Dm C Bb
Know my final thoughts will be of regret
F A
If i'm to drown in the deep sea that parts us
Dm C Bb
I once lived and loved, don’t forget
C
F
Give my paintings to Alice
A
Tell all my good friends
Dm C Bb
That I didn’t dare earn their respect
C
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
F C
I don’t know what happens if I leave my room
Dm C Bb
Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do
A Dm C Bb
If I'm to die before you, if I'm to die before you

version 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
his picking pattern is something like this, only a lot more complicated:
C
E-----------------|
B----------1------|
G-------0-----0---|
D----2----------2-|
A-3---------------|
E-----------------|
the F is always like this: (x-x-3-2-1-0) so it's pretty easy, no barre chords needed
also if there's something like Am-G-F, it means that the chords changes are quicker, i couldn't come up
with a better way to make that clear.

If I'm to die before I reach you
Please know I'm meant to love you till I did
If I'm to slip beneath a train meant to take me
Know that I believe that it was worth it
Tell my friends goodbye
Tell my almost ex-wife
That I loved her and left her too soon
Oh I hope to be holding you soon
Who knows what happens if I leave my room
Oh I'm scared that you'll know what to do
If I'm to die before you
If I'm to die before I hold you
Know my arms were the worst off for it
If I'm set upon dragged
From my room as I write
You will be my last
Thought before I quit
Give my family love
I would watch from above
But I fear there is nothing but sleep
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
Don't know what's out there
More fear I assume
Oh I'm scared that you'll know what to do
If I'm to die before you
And if I'm to die before we spend a soft day
Know my final thoughts will be of regret
If I'm to drown in the deep sea that parts us
I once lived and loved, don't forget
Give my paintings to Alice
Tell all my good friends
That I didn't dare earn their respect
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
I don't know what happens if I leave my room
Oh I'm scared that you'll know what to do
If I'm to die before you, if I'm to die before you
